PHOSPHATE CARGO
Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 2. A further meeting of the local disputes committee was held this morning at Lyttelton to consider the watcrsiders’ demand of 3s 3d an hour plus 15s bonus, for discharging 700 tons of phosphate now on board the Wonganclla, which the vessel loaded at Nauru. The employers, it was stated, would not accede to the demands of the men, but were prepared to pay the award rates of 2s 7sd per hour. No trouble has been experienced at other ports in obtaining labour to work this class of cargo. A deadlock was arrived at during the meeting and the matter will again be referred to the National Disputes Committee.
